MiKTeX is a free and open-source distribution of the TeX / LaTeX typesetting system for Microsoft Windows [3] (and for Mac and certain Linux distributions such as Ubuntu , Debian and Fedora ). [4] It also contains a set of related programs. MiKTeX provides the tools necessary to prepare documents using the TeX/LaTeX markup language , as well as a simple TeX editor: TeXworks . The name comes from Christian Schenk's login: MiK for Micro-Kid. [5]

MiKTeX can update itself by downloading new versions of previously installed components and packages, and has an easy installation process. [6] Additionally, it can ask users whether they wish to download any packages that have not yet been installed but are requested by the current document.

The current version of MiKTeX is 21.12 and is available at the MiKTeX homepage. In June 2020, Schenk decided to change the numbering convention; the new one is based on the release date. Thus 20.6 was released in June 2020. Since version 2.7, MiKTeX has support for XeTeX , MetaPost and pdfTeX and compatibility with Windows 7 . A portable version of MiKTeX, as well as a command-line installer of it, are also available. [4]

I want to learn LaTeX. I was looking for some form of software when I found them at
http://miktex.org/
It seems like it is free. They say easy to download.
However, I don’t usually do stuff like this. Is the download an independent LaTeX program, like Waterloo Maple ("plug-in-play")? Is this what people here use? Please forgive my naivety... If this is the wrong forum for such questions please re-direct.
I would, just, hate to have to restore my computer on some experiment.

As a brief answer to your question:
Using LaTeX means you write some text combined with some strange command structure. This can be done either in Notepad or your favorite editor and that would be basically your .tex file.
Then you feed this file into a TeX compiler and TeX starts to understand what you mean via interpreting the commands in the .tex file. There are a couple of options for the end product; some produce a .ps file some directly a .pdf file (or .dvi but let's forget about that for a second)
Now MikTeX is the collection of packages and the engines that receives your .tex file and produces some output. On Windows it's kind of the common choice. TeXLive and MacTeX are other major distributions for different operating systems; TeX Live is cross-platform, where MacTeX is for OSX.
Also there are some editors that allows you to type .tex files and when you press a button, or if you feel hip, a shortcut the editor sends your file to MikTeX for compilation automatically. The most popular choices (for Windows) are TeXnicCenter, WinEdt, TeXworks, etc. See LaTeX Editors/IDEs for more options.
Regarding MikTeX, first and foremost, it (and almost all software having to do directly with LaTeX) is absolutely free - it is open-source. It is very unlikely that you will have to restore your computer after installing MikTeX - almost as unlikely as having to restore it after downloading a paper. Just be sure to follow all your normal installation dos and don'ts: try not to let the power die while you're installing it.
More technically, MikTeX is what is called a TeX distribution - it is a bundle of programs and files that are commonly used when working with TeX and its many derivatives, of which LaTeX is the most popular. MikTeX includes, among many other things, the actual latex program. It is a standalone piece of software that you can use either from command line or from a graphical interface such as TeXWorks (which is also included in MikTeX).
A TeX distribution is thus designed to be a complete 'starter kit' for working with TeX, but there are differences between different TeX distributions. For example, MikTeX is somewhat easier to set up than TeX Live, another distribution mentioned in the comments. However, choosing MikTeX comes with a few obscure security issues, as described in What are the advantages of TeX Live over MiKTeX? , but you are unlikely to come across these (and almost sure to never come across them if you're using it for yourself). Installing and working with TeXLive is a separate topic, but more information can be found on TeX Live's webpage .
As far as learning LaTeX itself, there are countless resources available for free on the internet. Among the highly recommended are
Of course, there are excellent printed-and-bound guides and manuals available as well, including
Since you're new to this site, I would recommend checking out the About page and The Unofficial TeX-SX FAQ ; these will give you a far better introduction to TeX.SX. Of course, if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask (but do be sure to use the search feature first!).

A friend once asked us, “Should I use LaTeX or MiKTeX?”
In various guises, this is a common question, seemingly innocent, but
actually betraying a fundamental confusion about the levels of operation
in the TeX world. As a further confusion, the word “TeX”
can be used to refer to any of a myriad of items at any level. Starting
at the top:

TeX source files can be typeset into several different output
formats, depending on the engine. Notably, the pdfTeX engine (despite
its name) can output both DVI and PDF
files.

At a high level, the output format that gets used depends on the
program you invoke. If you run latex (which implements the
LaTeX format), you will get DVI; if you run pdflatex (which
also implements the LaTeX format), you will get PDF.

No TeX engine implements native HTML output, but it is still possible
to get HTML, XML, etc., output:

ConTeXt is a special case,
straddling levels. It contains a format at the level of plain TeX and
LaTeX, but unlike the other formats, it is invoked via a separate
program (e.g., context ) which then runs a TeX engine. This
makes it possible to support a wide array of advanced features, such as
integrated graphics and XML input, since the control program can
determine the flow of processing.

Of course, this short web page is only a brief introduction to the
basics. Here are some pointers to further information.
